Back in the days when all houses had chimneys, sliding down one of those sooty, cramped spaces was a great way for Santa to get into homes that were all locked up for the night. But imagine how dirty the poor guy gets. Imagine how Mrs. Claus probably sighs each time he returns from his trip and she faces the task of getting that fur trim sparkly white again before next year. Imagine how much easier it would be if he could go through the front door!

Well, it’s a little-known fact that Santa actually prefers to use the front door.

He knows that kids still want him to do it the old-fashioned way, but after doing that for a few hundred years, and occasionally landing on some warm coals or getting his rear end stuck in a tight spot, Santa Claus has realized it’s much easier to enter homes the way other people do – through the front door.

He discovered this after modern apartments, condos and well-insulated houses with electric heating made chimneys obsolete in some places. So he had to devise a way to get into those homes. What he discovered is that he can use a little Christmas magic to turn any key into a magic key that will open the front door. It’s not enough magic to open the door without a key or to risk running out of power while delivering gifts on Christmas Eve. It’s just enough to open the door so he can slip inside and deliver the gifts.

If you live in a home without a chimney, you’ll want to be sure to get your magic Santa key ready for the annual Santa Claus visit. Any key will work. The important thing is to leave it outside where Santa can easily find and identify it as the key for him. You can buy a magic Santa key from Amazon or make your own by adding a magic Santa key poem such as the one found at Santa Letter Templates.com.

Then all you need to do is place it outside on Christmas Eve and Santa will do the rest!
